Emergencies

 

In the event of a dental emergency during working hours, we will endeavour to see you within 24 hours if you are a registered patient.

 

Unregistered patients

We welcome all patients to the practice. If you are having difficulty getting an appointment with your regular dentist we will endeavour to see you at the next available appointment time. You will need to fill in a Medical History Form and bring in a copy of any prescription medication that you are taking. Please see Fees Guide for a list of our prices. There is a charge of £130.00 at the time of the booking the appointment in order to secure the emergency slot. This fee will allow us to get you out of pain and may include any necessary x-rays, a prescription for antibiotics if necessary, opening up a tooth for first stage root canal treatment, or a temporary filling.

 

What to do if you have an emergency outside of normal working hours?

Our fees for emergency treatment (out of hours) are as follows:
